Joseph LeDoux (1993, 1996) Proposed That It Is the Amygdala

Joseph LeDoux (1993, 1996) proposed that it is the amygdala, rather than the limbic system as a whole, that is the emotional computer for the brain. LeDoux's thesis derives from evidence including that the amygdala:

A) receives visual and auditory inputs directly from the thalamus.
B) has rich interconnections with the hippocampus.
C) if damaged, is associated with greater potential for an animal to learn via emotional conditioning.
D) shows decreased activation in individuals with depression.
